摘要

硫化聚丙烯腈(SPAN)的准固态反应过程已成为缓解锂硫电池(li -硫)中多硫穿梭效应的一种有前景的策略。然而,由于缓慢的氧化还原动力学导致溶剂化引起的结构重排,SPAN阴极在醚基电解质中的实际应用仍然具有挑战性。本文通过聚苯乙烯(PS)模板的热解转化和碳纳米管(CNTs)网络集成,制备了一种分层结构的复合材料(HSPAN)。这种工程结构建立了双电子离子传输通道,协同增强硫氧化还原动力学,抑制短链硫溶解,并在醚电解质中实现稳定的充放电循环。优化后的HSPAN阴极在1c速率下的比放电容量为1145 mAh g⁻¹,硫含量为50%,在800次循环中保持82%的容量。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算表明,硫化处理通过调节聚丙烯腈的电子结构,显著缩小了HOMO-LUMO能隙,从而提高了材料的电导率和氧化还原活性,为设计高性能锂硫电池阴极提供了理论基础。这项工作为硫化聚合物的溶剂化动力学提供了基本的见解,并通过合理的电极工程展示了实用高能量密度Li-S电池的可行途径。

Sulfurized Polyacrylonitrile Cathodes With Rapid Redox Kinetics for High-Capacity and Long-Cycle-Life Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.
The quasi-solid-state reaction process in sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate the polysulfide shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, the practical implementation of SPAN cathodes in ether-based electrolytes remains challenging due to solvation-induced structural rearrangement stemming from sluggish redox kinetics. Herein, a hierarchically structured composite (denoted as HSPAN) is developed through pyrolytic transformation of polystyrene (PS) templates coupled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) network integration. This engineered architecture establishes dual electron-ion transport channels, which synergistically enhance sulfur redox kinetics, suppress short-chain sulfur dissolution, and enable stable charge/discharge cycling in ether electrolytes. The optimized HSPAN cathode delivers a specific discharge capacity of 1145 mAh g⁻¹ at 1 C rate with a sulfur content of 50%, maintaining 82% capacity retention over 800 cycles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the sulfurization treatment significantly narrows the HOMO-LUMO energy gap by modulating the electronic structure of polyacrylonitrile, thereby enhancing the conductivity and redox activity of the material, providing a theoretical basis for designing high-performance lithium-sulfur battery cathodes. This work provides fundamental insights into the solvation dynamics of sulfurized polymers and demonstrates a viable pathway toward practical high-energy-density Li-S batteries through rational electrode engineering.
